You’ll have noticed that as soon as Christmas ended, the supermarkets stocked their shelves with Easter Eggs, Easter Bunnies, and my favourite Crème Eggs.
It was all a little early, but there really is no escaping that these things come out earlier and earlier each year.
I confess that by the time Easter finally arrives I am well and truly over the sight of chocolate, the kids obviously not as much, but as they get lot of sweets and chocolates from friends and family I prefer non-chocolate gifts these days.
As PLAYMOBIL Playologists, the children were both sent a PLAYMOBIL Easter Egg to look at, and I admit I would still love to receive one of these, even in my 30s.
The smiles say it all. This pair was over the moon with their Eggs and couldn’t wait to get inside.
Emmy received the Mermaid with Seahorses Egg, which comes in a Pink Egg and costs £6.99.
Inside, you will find:
- A stand base
- Mermaid
- Coral
- 3 Seahorses
- Flowers
- Starfish
- Gemstone for the mermaid necklace
- Shells
Setting up is very easy. I left Emmy to look at the picture on the box and do this herself. It took her about 3 minutes, with the hardest bit being sticking the gemstone onto the mermaid’s necklace.
Once set up, you can leave it up as it won’t take up a lot of space, or you can keep it stored in the egg so as not to lose any pieces.
Harry was sent the Pirate on Treasure Hunt Egg, which comes in a Blue Egg and costs £6.99.
Inside, you will find:
- Tree & Log
- Foliage
- Skull
- Pirate
- 2 x guns
- Shovel
- Snake
- Treasure Map
- Golden Treasure
There wasn’t much to put together with this set, which is just as well as Harry was more keen to play than build.
You need to push the tree into the log and attach the foliage (I find this keeps falling off, but Harry doesn’t seem to mind). Then, push the inside of the treasure map into place. This can be spun around as the centre rotates.
The pirate can then either hold his guns or the shovel and search for his lost treasure.
Both of these sets are very sweet and cost around the same as a large chocolate egg. They will certainly last a lot longer. Each Egg also has a slit in the base, so the plastic egg casing could also be reused as a money box after Easter, making these 2 gifts in 1.
Disclaimer: We are PLAYMOBIL Playologists and were send these eggs as part of our ongoing playologist role to share with you.

I can't seem to find them in any stores. They are not available in Argos, Toysrus only sell the tractor one which is currently out of stock. Some available on Amazon but I'd prefer to get them in a shop. Any idea if they will become more widely available? Brilliant idea though, we need more non edible Easter gifts.
I'll find this out for you and get back ASAP.
These are awesome! I am seriously considering getting them for Athena and Troy x
They will love them.
Much more fun than chocolate that lasts minutes in our house
